Hi everyone

Hello!

My name is Marva and this is the first time in my entire life that I consider myself as (obsessive) fan of something. I am quite new to the Sherlock series as it just has been recommended to me but I am already captured by (almost) everything!!!

Although I like to read crime novels in general, I never even was particularly interested in the Sherlock Holmes books. But since watching this series everything has changed. I am quite surprised to realize that these excessive fandoms exist, as I was not aware of it at all before, with fanfic, fanart, fanvideos and all the like and I am even more surprised that I enjoy them tremendously.

I think what is so fascinating about the Sherlock series (can't speak much of the actual books or other adaptions) is that both of the main characters have such a deep and interesting personality, both opposed and congruent to each other at the same time. I already found so much fantastic fanfic taking advantage of this fact in order to evolve the most capturing plots, it is really stunning.

So, hi there fellow Sherlock fans, I am really excited about the opportunity to be able exchange ideas with you on that subject as in my real life everybody would probably assume that I went nuts :-D.

Cheers


The Game is On!

No, sir, we’re proud of you. And if you come down tomorrow there’s not a man from the oldest inspector to the youngest constable, who wouldn’t be glad to shake you by the hand." - Inspector Lestrade, The Six Napoleons

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Obsessive? Who's obsessive? We all have a life beyond Sherlock and we're all completely laid back and rel-did anyone just mention season 3, OMG! I'm so excited I can't wait any longer! Gimme!

Erm. Hrm. So sorry. It really usually rarely happens. At all.

Apart from that- a belated official welcome from me too!
